…and so our window into the future closes on 2015. Thank you all for coming up and spending time with us. If you haven’t yet, have a stroll through our flickr pool – it really is an outstanding group of images and our bloggers once again have done an amazing job that only pictures will allow you to fully appreciate (as words aren’t adequate.)

Thanks also to all our merchants who tirelessly scrape themselves together to put out such wonderful product.

Many people came to me to talk about how much they like the build- that was done by Lokii Violet, so go tell her.

Futurewave is zooming along in space, floating within its own gravitational field, the pedestrian lights on the floor flickering with each visitor step. It is a sight to see, behold and experience. So many people already have and more are still coming through the teleports constantly.

If you are a new visitor to the Cursed Spheres you might not be aware that there is a functioning club within the premises. Club Gothika’s Mobile Unit moves in every time, and Futurewave is no exception. Their regular schedule can be found here, but we also have a guest DJ just for the occasion. The lovely Alisa Perne (above in the picture) who also blogs for us and actually lives in Cursed will be gracing Gothika on Friday, February 20th, 4-6 PM SLT. Come on over and join in the fun!

As for The Thing, there is a curious artifact unearthed by {NanTra} Poses available in Futurewave. Thanks to the wonders of technology, each synthesized copy is exactly the same as the original to the point no one can tell the difference. But what IS The Thing? It seems that the founders and distributers are somewhat uncertain about it as well and are holding a contest to ask your opinion on the matter. Find out more here.

As always, it’s been an immense pleasure witnessing both creators and bloggers get into the spirit of things, challenging themselves, becoming inspired and enjoying the process. Check out our flickr pool for more shinies and to truly enjoy all the colour of the future!

If I were Sonya (and I am not Sonya) I would write an awesome story here about liftoff and mission control and make it sound like a story. But I can’t tell stories to save my life, and you’re stuck with me for this post, so I can tell everyone we opened on time and with very few hitches. We did not (thank goodness) have the same mad rush we did last year (when we hit 104 people in 20 minutes- yeah, let’s never do that again…) but we did have plenty of people wandering around.

The booth design this year is really pretty terrific. Most stores went all out, creatively, and they look really nifty. Our blogging team is once again out in force- I’ve been moderating our flickr group every couple hours, and people have been posting wonderful stuff.

It also seems that people have discovered Gothulon Travel, which by the way everyone is welcome to use to take photos in. We had an extra space, so we created a little spot for people to have fun with. “Explore the dark reaches of the universe! Come see the space bunnies of Fluffzoid 8!” Mostly this is what happens when Sonya and I really need caffeine.

There’s lots to see this year, so come on up and hang out on the space station. See you tomorrow- mission control, out.

In 12 hours the wormhole will open and allow people in to Futurewave 2015. There’s a strange combination of everything and nothing happening right now. A lot of behind the scenes frantic creation and load in, combined with the quiet that only comes when the sim is on lockdown. As always it will come down to the wire for a lot of it, but such is how all events work.

Our talented blogger crew is already hard at work, and are getting their photo A game on. I have been sweeping by the flickr group to moderate new entries several times a day, and people have already been posting great stuff, so we’ll have plenty to show off to you. The merchant list has been updated with direct booth URLs (the way this build is designed makes the URLs way more efficient than a map, so use those if you need to find someplace in a hurry.) Also, all the signs are labeled, so you can always use area search with the name of the store to try and find a particular shop.

Our sponsor page has also been updated thanks to Synjari (thanks, Syn. 🙂 ) and you can read up on all our terrific sponsors for this year. We’re almost ready to roll.

Hey all, I’ve updated the merchant list again. We do still have one open slot, technically, and several people haven’t yet paid their booth fees. Please note that all booths not paid up by midnight on the 31st will be removed from the event, because after that point I just don’t have the time to chase people around (not that I have the time now, but I’m more willing to poke people about it.)

Currently, we have one slot left open. Please remember that all booth fees are due no later than January 31, so if you have gotten your stuff and haven’t paid yours make sure you leave yourself a note to do that before the 31st.

Re-calibrate your jetpacks, polish your robotic radars, synthesize a new dose of caffeinated beverage of your choice: Futurewave is almost here! It’s time to send in your applications and start thinking in cyber circuits!

If you sent in an application to Futurewave before this post was published, it’s been processed. Please check the email address you signed up for booth size and fee confirmations.

We did not take everyone who applied. The reasons why (in this batch) were twofold:

1. The store contains a large amount of fandom related merchandise. We have a no fandom rule in place in the rules for this event(it’s even in red letters in the rules). If your store sells a lot of fandom related stuff, it could be great stuff- but you’re just not the right store for this event.

2. The store simply doesn’t sell anything related to the theme(s), and nothing came in with the application explaining that.

Currently, we have 7 open slots remaining. I’ll start getting a merchant list together tonight.

Hi all. I’m processing the first round of applications today. As of right now I’ve done about half of what we have. I’ll do the rest after I’ve slept a little. I should be caught up by tonight. We have a lot of new stores applying so they need to be checked out as we go.

We do have some slots (I want to say ~5 at the moment, but I haven’t checked all the stores who applied yet) left, so if you wanted to apply, now is a good time.

Hi all. I know a bunch of people are waiting on applications stuff. Im waiting on the standees to be delivered from Pie. (I really don’t want to have to do all this twice so it’s more efficient to just wait til I get them so I can do this in one shot.) However at this point we are *definitely* out of sponsor slots. If you apply as a sponsor we’ll add you to the wait list but those slots are LONG gone.

Pie has promised the standees and poster frames at some point today, so I should be up and running with acceptance emails and poster drops later today.
